Do you remember your first trip aboard without your parents?<br />
How was it like and what was the occasion?<br />
My first trip abroad without my parents was to Bodrum, Turkey.<br />
I was only 15 years old and went with a bunch of friends. It was<br />
a great experience since it was the first time I stepped outside of<br />
the UK. I was amazed with the local architecture and landscape.<br />
I wasn't very adventurous with the local cuisine and remember<br />
going all over town to find a McDonalds. There was no such<br />
thing as GPS and smart phones back then.<br />
If you could only listen to one musical genre, what would it be?<br />
Wow, this is a hard one. I think it would have to be genre of good<br />
music, LOL. No, I'd probably go with House Music!<br />
Where is a place that you have visited that you would highly<br />
recommend people to go?<br />
I think it should be on everyone's bucket list to go Boracay,<br />
Philippines. The white sand beach with crystal blue sea is perfect<br />
for anyone who loves spending time soaking up sun. I had a<br />
great experience with Patricia and some friends. I would highly<br />
suggest staying at Discovery Shore.<br />
Could you travel around without access to social media?<br />
In today's world that seems hard to do. But yes, I think it<br />
would be a holiday in itself to not have any digital devices and<br />
connectivity. I remember the days we didn't have any social<br />
media, so yes, I could do that no problem. I would spam up my<br />
feed with photos after I returned from my trip though.<br />
How did music came into your life and how did it become part<br />
of your career as a DJ?<br />
It came organically. It’s just something I was exposed to at a<br />
young age and decided I wanted to work within music and<br />
entertainment. It’s been a long journey since I started to DJ and<br />
I'm just happy I get to do what I love.<br />
Are you a meticulous travel planner or the spontaneous kind?<br />
I would say I am somewhere between both. Sometimes it’s<br />
important to plan ahead and to prepare, but then again, it’s also<br />
nice to wake up in the morning and think, “Hey I want to go to a<br />
beach tomorrow”, book a flight and go!<br />
Who is your dream person to collaborate with to create music?<br />
I'd love work with anyone who share the same passion for<br />
music as I do.<br />
How has travelling changed since you started a family?<br />
It has changed by an additional 3 hours of preparing, packing<br />
and moving around with a baby. To be honest, it hasn't changed<br />
much other than we have an extra person with us and need to<br />
allow more time to prepare before traveling. It's a pleasure to be<br />
able to go away as a family.<br />
Any upcoming gigs or collaborations we can expect towards<br />
the end of the year?<br />
Yes, currently doing a massive collaboration with 6 other artists<br />
from various fields in music, dance and performance to create<br />
a club showcase like no other. The event is call Chivas presents<br />
ETM (Electronic Theatre Music) and we are currently touring.<br />

and guest mixes from international and local DJs. Head over to<br />
